Abbott's Oncodetect test improves colorectal cancer recurrence detection sensitivity by 30 percentage points in study
  • Abbott presented Beta-CORRECT results at ESMO 2026 showing its whole-genome Oncodetect test improved detection of colorectal cancer recurrence versus its whole-exome version.
  • The test identified additional patients with residual cancer DNA following surgery, helping assess recurrence risk.
  • Detectable cancer DNA was the strongest predictor of recurrence among factors studied; further research will assess implications for patient management.
